So many families seem fractured, lacking the strong bonds of affection and friendship that should naturally exist!

Let’s face it – most everyone needs a friend, right? In these times that we currently live in, our world is most troubled and has distorted the true meaning of friendship. In this age of Social Media, friendship has been reduced to a couple of keystrokes that feature Likes, Loves and Pin-Its. But, at the first sign of a disagreement what happens? Unlike, Un-follow, and the list goes on. This in itself can be most discouraging at times. But, that’s no reason to give up searching for true, genuine and lasting friendships.

We should never settle for a lifetime of solitude. Having friends or close confidants is necessary and important for our physical and mental health, happiness and overall well-being.

In the pursuit of real and lasting friendships, work is involved to search out, secure and maintain real friends that we would like to keep throughout our lives. Are you up for the task?
